I have to say that I do not think I have ever seen a professional golfer wearing something that you could be seen dead in anywhere outside of the golf course. So why do all of these golfers actually put on all of this rubbish when they hit the courses?
Sponsorships
you will see professionals in stupid clothes but they are always branded and this is because they have deals with companies. The thing that makes it worth it for the players is the fact that they are getting a lot of money for turning up in these clothes, I would do it for a couple of million every year.
Club Policy
Many golf clubs will simply not accept people coming in with rubbish looking clothes on. The top clubs will often stop people from entering the courses if they are not wearing what the course would call “proper clothing”.
Arrogance
Some of it is to do with the sport. Many people who play in the top clubs are rich and very stuck up and wearing these kinds of crazy clothes is just another sign of these people being posh and showing off how much money they have. It really is quite upsetting that this kind of thing goes on because golf is such a calming sport.
Laughable
Whenever I see my father walking out of the door on the way to play golf I have to say that along with the UPS batteries and 12v batteries for his golf trolleys I have to say that he looks absolutely ridiculous! It is a bit silly that golf clubs restrict people on what they are wearing, very silly indeed. The only thing that i can really understand them doing is stopping people from playing in very casual wear such as jeans and a pair of trainers.
So what do you personally think on it all, do you feel that golfers fashion is way out of hand or do you actually think that when they walk onto the courses in their pink and yellow colours looking like Mr Blobby that it looks okay?
